GOLD-IN-GLASS BEADS FROM MUCKING, ESSEX

Author(s): Justine Bayley

A total of 127 `gold-in-glass' beads from graves in early Saxon cemeteries were examined and some were analysed by XRF. Four different sub-types were identified. Two contained either gold or silver leaf and a further two no metal; the outer layer of glass in these was either `colourless' or translucent golden yellow.
